Abstract. This paper presents a model for representing compliance rules related to subsurface objects. Rules expressed in this model can be automatically evaluated (using SHACL or SPARQL) on existing 3D city models expressed in RDF. The main characteristics of the proposed model are (1) its expressiveness, that comes from the use of formal ontologies for representing the rules and the objects they refer to, (2) its integrative nature, given by the interconnection among the proposed ontologies and the connection of these ontologies with CityGML and IFC (in an ontological form), and (3) its multi-geometry aspect. Preliminary results allow to automatically evaluate formally expressed compliance rules for underground objects in a 3D city model, that will considerably ease the task of professionals of the field.
Abstract. Urban planning projects are complex and involve multiple actors ranging from urban planners to inhabitants. These actors differ greatly in their background or their centres of interest. The main objective of our research is contributing to a better communication of urban planning projects between the various actors involved. With this intention, we defined an ontology-based model whose main characteristics are, on the one hand, the semantic integration in a knowledge base of the urban knowledge coming from various sources such as GIS databases, master plans, local plans or any other document and, on the other hand, the modelling of the centre of interest of an urban actor. This models can then be used to generate adapted user interfaces to present the project's data and knowledge according to each actor's background and interests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
